Got an update.  Checked the old website and it says "Interview was scheduled".  The new one only has a document about reusing my biometrics, so maybe it hasn't been updated with an interview date yet.  Nothing in the mail today, but I'll circle back and update the group when I get a date for the interview.  

Awesome news!!! I'm so glad to finally see things moving forward for April filers.

congrats! you are probably the first April filer that got its interview scheduled!

Fingers crossed for the rest of us!

I filed my N-400 on April 1st (and of course, no biometrics appointment yet), and I just logged in today to check the estimated wait time, and it seems like it got bumped up from April 2021 to May 2021.

 

I'm in San Francisco.

Same. My estimated time moved up from January 2021 to July 2021 and it stayed like that for some time. Ugh

All right April filers!! A bit of good news here

I ve been watching this thread since April 15 when I filed my N-400. I have received my receipt notice the same day (I filed online) but since then nothing has changed until today when I decided to check my USCIS website then I read the following:

 

NOTICE TO APPLICANT:  

 

Biometric Reuse

 

U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has received your form and is currently processing your application, petition, or request. This noticeinforms you that USCIS is able to reuse your previously captured fingerprints and other biometrics. USCIS will run the same security checks and useyour biometric data as in the past, however, it is not necessary for you to appear at a USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) for a biometricsappointment. The biometrics fee will not be refunded.
USCIS is continuing to process your application, petition, or request. USCIS will contact you in writing if any additional information is necessary to resolveyour case.

So things are moving forward, I should emphasize that my local office is in Cleveland, the fastest local processing center in the nation.

Congrats! The trend here is states like Ohio and North Carolina are making progress tremendously. While other states either been stuck in a certain phase or reverting to a phase in opening is adding to the delay we are experiencing.

Even before the pandemic, some states/local offices were just speedier than others. I don't know to what degree the individual state's laws/regulations are affecting it since USCIS is a federal agency. Would be interesting to know more about that.

Same here. Filed on April 26 in SF. Expected timeline is shown as May 2021.

Update:  The document on the new website was updated on Tuesday with my interview scheduled for 09/22.  Nothing in the mail yet though (either biometrics reused or the interview scheduled). 

 

@thongho2910 I don't think I have my number there, but I got an email when the website was updated letting me know an action "needs your attention", which was that my interview was scheduled.  

 

@narnia2020 I noticed on Monday (8/10) but the document is dated as of Friday (8/7).
